The person who runs PipedLinkBot typing out all the links be like:
I really enjoyed piped but it shuting down often nowaday so I use Invidious now
We need a bot to every frontend it will be fun
Converting a youtube link to any alternative front-end is as i remember correctly as easy as changing the youtube.com part to whatever the front-end link is. I think pipedbot should use the open source link redirection service called farside. It take care of automatic redirection when a front-end is momentarily dead and also do some load balancing by redirecting between multiple self-hosted front-ends so as to not Hug a single one to death while others get barely any use.
I can’t get Piped to work. It’s probably one of my blockers or something but I just get a blank page with an endless turning circle in the middle.
I don’t use any blockers and it doesn’t work for me either. Honestly it might just be getting too much traffic to handle
even on small instances like mine, https://piped.seliaste.com ? what browser do you use
Oh, yours seems to work fine. Maybe it’s just the instance the Piped Bot links to.
On Sync for Lemmy you can have piped bots “invisible” “hidden”. I know this is not something novel, just a PSA for Sync users!
*Edited for exact verbiage
Settings link Settings shortcut: Account settings > Hide PipedLinkBot
Because it’s annoying useless bullshit clogging up comments with links to a service that doesn’t work for shit.
!asklemmy@lemmy.ml and ctrl+f music. Stay on your instance, folks.
